  • Gets another start
    Espinal started at third base and went 1-for-3 in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Pittsburgh.

    Advice: Espinal received a second consecutive start at the hot corner, as Jeimer Candelario (tendinitis) was unavailable. This could be a situation where manager David Bell is giving Candelario multiple days off, including an off day Thursday, so that he can ready to go Friday when the Reds open a home series against the suddenly hot Red Sox.

  • Steals two bases in win
    Gonzalez went 1-for-4 with one RBI, one run scored and two steals in a 7-3 win over the Blue Jays on Wednesday.

    Advice: Gonzalez reached on an error, stole second and came around to score in the third inning then added an RBI single and another steal in the sixth.

  • Goes deep again
    Swanson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two additional RBI in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Giants.

    Advice: Swanson went deep for the second straight game against San Francisco, giving him eight home runs for the season. The shortstop is still off to a sluggish start overall with a .214 average and .660 OPS across 64 contests, though his recent form is indicative of the type of upside that Swanson possesses, giving him plenty of fantasy appeal moving forward.

  • J.P. Crawford tossed for arguing balls and strikes
    J.P. Crawford was ejected from Wednesday’s contest against the Guardians after arguing a questionable third strike call in the fifth inning.

    Advice: Things got heated between the M’s shortstop and home plate umpire Doug Eddings, with Crawford and eventually manager Scott Servais both getting the heave-ho. Crawford will have to catch the rest of Wednesday’s game from the clubhouse. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:02 pm
     
  • Dansby Swanson has two hits, homers in victory
    Dansby Swanson went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and three RBI on Wednesday, leading the Cubs to a 6-5 victory over the Giants.

    Advice: Swanson went back-to-back with Ian Happ in the fourth inning and also added a pivotal two-run single in the seventh inning, which wound up being just enough for Chicago to edge San Francisco. The 30-year-old shortstop has homered in back-to-back games after going without a round-tripper since June 7. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:37 pm

  • Getting breather Wednesday
    Rojas isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Rojas will take a seat Wednesday after going 4-for-9 with an RBI and three runs scored through the first two games of the series. He will be replaced at shortstop by Enrique Hernandez, who will bat eighth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:09 pm
     
  • Back on bench
    Caballero is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: Taylor Walls (illness) will return to the lineup at shortstop after missing the Rays' previous three games, leaving no room in the infield for Caballero. Though he's been an everyday player for most of the season and has racked up 22 stolen bases, Caballero looks like he could be limited to a part-time role now that Tampa Bay is back to full strength in the infield.
